Really was a lovely meal. Stayed over at the Green Bough and had a lovely time. Food and service was exquisite.. Really second to none.
Must say as well that booked meal via third party website. Then rang hotel to book a table and they...More

Having eaten here before (3 years ago) I was very disappointed with the quality of food. This place used to be one of the best in Chester - standards have fallen a long way.
No nibbles with your drinks, no appetisers with your meal. The...More

We stayed at the Green Bough and ate at the Olive Restaurant for dinner. Unlike most small hotels, we were treated and served as if in a professional restaurant. The service and attention was second to none. The menu was limited but the food was...More

Visited this restaurant on a weekend break and was very impressed with the standard of service and the delicious food.Everything was cooked to perfection and the staff were really friendly but also made you feel quite special. Really enjoyed the fine dining!

This restaurant is attached to the Green Bough Hotel, the chefs menu was varied and different each night. The food is clearly created in the hotel kitchen as is a mixture of traditional and unusual. Set price for the 3 course meal with a supplement...More

After reading glowing reports about the Olive Tree, we decided to dine there last Saturday evening. Arrival was promising as were the hotel and restaurant facilities. We had an enjoyable drink by the fire and then were shown to our table. Despite a number of...More

We were staying in the hotel as part of a 50th party and decided that we would all dine here. 18 of us. The staff were first class, the food was delicious and the room was just the ticket for the size of the party....More

Last night's visit to The Olive Tree restaurant at the Green Bough hotel for their 8-course Valentine's Gourmet Dinner was really enjoyable. The service was friendly and welcoming but unobtrusive. The food was delicious. Our favourite was the Rosemary and Garlic Baked Camembert but the...More

After a truly shocking meal at MPW's the previous evening, this was exactly what we needed. Unpretentious, perfectly prepared food, cooked for us as indiviuals, arriving piping hot and beautifully flavoured. Staff were attentive without being overbearing, atmosphere, quiet and extremely civilised. I could not...More

The Olive Tree may be in Chester, nestled in the sumptuous womb of the Green Bough Hotel, a luxury Victorian townhouse hotel, but for all the world it can feel like you've been transported to Tuscany. Rich Italian wallpaper and beautiful Italianate oil paintings grace the walls. Happily, you can take your time absorbing the space - a table is yours once seated. Savoy-trained chef/patron Philip Martin brings together an eclectic mix of aromas and flavours in an extensive, weekly-changing menu of innovative dishes epitomised by assiette of seafood - a delightful offering of red mullet, brill and king scallops; and Mediterranean vegetables with goats' cheese and parmesan crust. On cold evenings, it's nice to sit nibbling canap��s by the smouldering 17th century lounge fireplace. Attentive service.
